a quick read tells me this only applies to "standard" certificated
aircraft.. not experimental.. how many powered gliders have a standard
certificate?

and it only tells me you need to add basic engine monitoring instruments,
depending on the type of engine installed.. tach, oil temp, oil pressure,
etc.. plus a few other things.. required for VFR flight...

the way I've seen most gliders (motorgliders) configured.. they would meet
the requirements of 91.205, notice it says powered aircraft.. not powered
airplane

"Powered gliders are considered to be powered aircraft

Interesting. Hadn't seen this in writing before.
